Sit back, relax, and enjoy the drive into the Texas Hill Country where great wineries are hidden in green valleys. Texas’ sunny and dry climate produces numerous varietals, making the state the fifth-largest wine producing state in the nation. During the trip into the Hill Country, guests enjoy a guided commentary about the historic area. Also, hidden in the Texas Hill Country are historic towns like Fredericksburg, founded in 1846 by German settlers. Guests soon arrive in Fredericksburg for shopping and lunch on their own. Fredericksburg is also the home of the National Museum of the Pacific War. This museum is dedicated to the memory of the Pacific Theater of WWII. This is a must-see for history buffs. The motor coach drops guests at the town’s visitor center where they are given maps of this quaint village that is easily walkable and always enjoyed by all. On the return trip to Austin, guests visit one of the area’s most popular wineries, Becker Vineyards, for a tour of the winery and a private tasting of the fabulous Becker wines.More informationwww.fredericksburg-texas.com.andhttp://www.beckervineyards.com/Itinerary:
